Episode 1 – Self-Esteem

In this episode, I’m joined by three of the most kick ass women in my life – Diva, PJ, and Cesqua – to talk about body image, self-esteem, dieting, and bullying. In this episode, some brutally honest opinions, experiences, and perceptions are revealed as we spend an afternoon talking about one of the toughest internal wars women fight with themselves every single day. Four vastly different experiences come together to lay it out there and, in the end, say what we would tell every single teenage and 20-something year old girl out there about life, the universe, and whatnot…YOU, yes YOU, are awesome.

The episode was recorded January 21, 2012 (the day after my 40th birthday), in Acr0nym’s kitchen just north of Denver. There was wine involved.

Alternately, the four of us at "Gay Trivia Night". I think we came in 3rd.

Of note: Acr0nym has been banned from using his butane lighter during all future episodes. I have been banned from ice in my wine glass from here on out.

We’re new at this so, while we would LOVE LOVE LOVE your feedback, please be gentle.

New features are already in the works and will be added to additional episodes.

A special shout out to Spux at sudux.com for the logo and to Paulie Lipman at paulielipman.com for the original podcast music.

PS If you are a reader of Jane In Her Infinite Wisdom, you’ll know just last week, I suffered a life-altering accident – one that changed my face for a long time to come. The irony is not lost on me. Editing the final cut of this particular episode really hit home as I waited for 27 stitches inserted to mend an 8.5 cm cut to come out of my cheek has been fascinating and affirming to me.
